It was a cold day today and we thought we would find a place to go where it was warm and our son wouldn't watch another movie stuck inside. Our 10 year old son has Down's Syndrome and he was ready to go out and do something! The museum has easy access and parking and the areas are well laid... More

I have brought my grandsons here a number of times, and they always enjoyed themselves-whether it was getting 'food' at the luncheonette, or mailing postcards at the post office, or being surrounded by the big bubble, or rolling balls or taking a train ride or climbing into a fire truck-and lots more interesting and educational activities.

Took our 2 year old grandchild for a few hours of fun here. She enjoyed all the variety of things to play with and we let her imagination run wild playing with her.

I had not heard of this place before but a co worker gave me the details. We took our two year old Grandaughter and spent the better part of the day. So many things for them to experience for themselves. You can dress up and play theater or be Vet or serve people in the diner, the school house ,... More

Have been there a number of times with my grand children... They enjoyed it each time and we had a good time explaining many things to them.. Especially the old fashioned school room.

I am from Troy and it was well worth the drive my 2 yr old had a blast. It is fun for toddlers and young kids. The only thing that stinks is that parents have to pay as well, with most other play centers they only charge kids. It a great place to go to challenge you kid and see... More

My daughter loves the children's museum. We go on rainy days and on days when we just need to get out of the house. There are plenty of different areas to spark a child's interest. We went when she was 2 and 3 and I'm sure she'll enjoy it for a few more years. The staff is friendly and I've... More

What a learning experience for my grandson of three(3) he had a blast there and, didn't want to leave. The children are actually allowed to do things here and with my grandson he likes to do hands on things.

Went to Children's Museum for my son's 1st birthday. #1. There is really nothing for that age group. 2. Aside from that, I have to say that I was appalled at how extremely dirty the toys were, the floors were, etc. For a kids museum, I would think they would have been on top of that. One stuffed animal that... More
